Students are taught to communicate in social, vocational, and educational areas. Speech has its practical application in original writings which help the student learn the organization of thought and material, practice writing skills, and utilization of imagination. In Speech 1-2, technique, study, oration, and dramatics are emphasized. A student advances to Speech 3-4, and the studies also advance to such topics as the interpretation of good poetry and prose, choral reading, and one-act plays. Mr. Garland helps Richard Pence and Greg Kitrell ublock-out a play. Using creative imagination, the stu dents enact their own interpretation of the play.
